iBrain™ is an easy-to-use neuroimage processing and visualisation package developed by David Abbott PhD and his team. From its roots in 1995 as an in-house software platform for functional MRI research, iBrain™ has grown to accommodate many requirements of neuroimaging analysis. iBrain™ can be used stand-alone, or in conjunction with other analysis packages such as SPM.

iBrain™ Laterality scripts are a new addition to the iBrain suite. The scripts are written in Matlab and will be released as open-source. They were used to generate the figures in the following manuscript:

NFG is a collection of command-line tools that enable the generation of numerical fibre structures with a range of complexities spanning the levels expected of human white matter. Also included is a tool to simulate the diffusion-weighted MR (DW-MR) images that would arise from these structures under various imaging conditions. The primary use of the 'Numerical Fibre Generator' is to enable the testing of white-matter fibre tracking techniques based on DW-MRI.

All included tools are distributed under the GNU public licence (GPL) and are available for download at NITRC

MRtrix provides a set of tools to perform diffusion-weighted MR white-matter tractography in a manner robust to crossing fibres, using constrained spherical deconvolution (CSD) and probabilistic streamlines.
